Dear Syvia,

I'm in the middle of cabinet installation THIS MINUTE! It's thrilling! After the guys leave I just stand in the middle of the room and turn in circles with my mouth wide open and tears in my eyes.

To your question -- I have Dyansty Moxy cabinets in Oyster finish on the perimeter (a very simple style that I was having second thoughts about until NOW, because it just looks great!) and DANVILLE with the Heirloom black finish on a center island. I chose Danville for the island because I thought it would show off that antiqued finish beautifully. They haven't gotten to the island yet so I can't tell you how it looks, though I can hardly wait to see it. (Big help.) But I can tell you that the cabinets are very nice. I often hear them described as the "middle ground" cabinets which makes me laugh/cry because mine were really $$$. I feel like I over pay for everything (sob) and I probably do. My brother calls me a "fish," whatever that means (haha).

Here's something that might help. I just checked the Omega/Dynasty site and it looks like the Dynasty Danville cabinet and the Omega Durham cabinet are identical. Maybe there's some difference in construction? Would narrow the field a bit for you if they were one and the same, huh?

Don't think I've been much help -- but I don't think you can go wrong.

PS This is what they mean by TKO. Cruising cabinet sites on a Saturday morning, while mine are being installed. Yikes. Well, it's nice to have an opinion rather than a question for a change.

If they're still around, Black327 & Coleen3201118 both have Danille.

I toyed with Danville for a while, but I didn't like the slab drawers. Since my base cabinets are mostly drawers, I decided against the Danville. I ended up with Anson...the Omega II/Dynasty II door that has identical drawer faces to the Artesia. [Artesia is the door I LOVE! But, it was also the most expensive door, so I had to change to something else...and Anson is the closest w/the beaded look. The only difference is the center panel, solid wood raised in Artesia, veneer flat in Anson (flat panels are often veneer for stability reasons)]
